Using surface control in android

Hi,

I'm trying to use surface control in android.
I'm checking out a native window from this surface control and drawing on that window using opengles but I'm not able to display it on the screen. It seems my surface control is not tied to the android view. How can I tie it with android view? It would be great it someone can point me to some example using surface control and drawing on it using opengl.

Bluetooth headphone issue

You don't usually see verification codes when connecting Bluetooth headphones. And I've never seen anything like that from Bluetooth headphones

Normally you just put them into pairing mode, they appear on the list of Bluetooth devices that the phones sees, and you tap Connect.

What Bluetooth headphones have you actually got there, make and model? Is there anything in the instructions about it?

Water damage display not working.

Do keep in mind that if all water is removed, only time will determine the long term effect / damage. Due to the close proximity of the micro like circuitry of phones, over a period of time spurs can occur on such due to moisture contamination and could lead to a short circuit at some point in time. I'm not at all trying to rain on your parade but please try to be realistic on successfully saving your phone long term. Drying out the phone completely soon after the introduction to water is your best shot at a full recovery. There is no guarantee to your success. I'm extremely sorry that your phone was breached by water. I've been there and done that.

What app uses this heart shaped icon?

I have the same problem. Can someone please tell me what this heart shaped icon is with 'love' wrote in it??
Are you British? Because there's an ITV show called "Love Island" screening at the moment which I know has a couple of associated apps, and I think it might be one of those (I don't watch it but it's hard not to have seen some of the branding, and the visual style of the word in that icon reminds me of it).

Is it a test?

Just to post a contrary opinion (what, me?), I actually am fine with the disappearence of the rankings. I'm of 2 minds with regards to no stats being visible unless you guess where to look for them, as traditional ones like join dates, numbers of posts or numbers of likes/thanks do convey some information at a glance. But ranking via what to most members will be an obscure algorithm never especially did it for me.

Apps Increase size of Radio Buttons

Hi there, I've recently been redesigning my apps UI to fit that of a 21" screen instead of a 10.5". I'm able to keep most of the logic/code but pretty much need to completely redo the UI. Things like Text Views and Edit Texts are easy to increase font size but I can't find a good way to increase the size of a Radio Button. Is the only way to adjust the scaleX and scaleY and mess around with the padding to avoid clipping?

Earphone options for Android

Honestly all the earphones I've found aren't still not what I'm looking for they're comfortable but the sound quality isn't the best and the volume controls never work... Still searching!
Try the 1more company. I've used both the Triple Driver and Quad Driver wired earphones. The sound is excellent, they are under $200, and their controls definitely work on the LG V40. They both come with a large variety of cushions, a case and an adapter for airplanes. If you Google either model for reviews, you'll see.

Help Unable to Play Videos in Samsung Internet

Samsung Internet has a full dark theme.
Chrome has a dark theme but only for Chrome components. Web pages still open with a white background.

It must be me getting older, but I have trouble looking at a screen with a white background and black text..

A fair point, I HATE anything that isn't dark mode. HATE the white retina blasting whatevers. :)

Essential ph-1 phone stuck in boot loop

Can't you just force a restart (press and hold the power button) and then use some key combination to boot it into recovery mode? If the bootloop is due to corrupted data then a factory reset from there should fix it.

If the firmware is corrupted then a reflash is needed, but most phones don't require the bootloader to be unlocked in order to flash official stock firmware (and I'm sure Essential provide factory images). It's only unsigned stuff (custom ROMs or recoveries) that generally requires unlocking, and indeed with some phones you have to actually lock the bootloader in order to flash stock images.
I have tried to force restart l, didn't work and I also did factory reset but still doing the same thing. Let me try to reflash it and see how it turns out..thanks

OxygenOS update 10.3.1 for OnePlus 6 & 6T

Sorry to hear you are having problems after the Android 10 update, Samantha Jones.

Which model of OnePlus 6T do you have... Global model 6T, McLaren Edition 6T or global converted T-Mobile carrier minority variant 6T?

The, "Bug Report", is in the Feedback section of the OnePlus forums, here...

https://forums.oneplus.com/feedback/

It would appear that you are not alone with this issue, see...

Slow animations, Less responsiveness on Android 10

one plus 6t performance lag after android 10 update

Both of these threads suggest backing up your phone and performing a Factory Reset.

However, before embarking on that course, it might be worth trying the following...

Ensure that, "NFS: No Limits", is not optimised in Battery...

Settings > Battery > Battery optimisation > NFS No Limits > Don't optimise

You can also enable Developer Options on your phone...


In Developer options you can increase the, Window animation scale, Transition animation scale and Animator duration scale. I would initially suggest moving them from 1 to 0.5.

Try clearing the games cache, not data...

Settings > apps & notifications > SEE ALL *** APPS > NFS: No Limits > Storage & cache > Clear cache

Enable RAM Boost...

Settings > System > RAM Boost > Increase RAM utilization

Enable Game Space and Fnatic mode for NFS: No Limits...

App drawer > Game Space > + (add NFS: No Limits > Menu (cog wheel), choose options and Fnatic mode

See if the above cures your lag. If not, A Factory Reset will be needed.[/QUOT0E]

I use a Global model 6T,

Thank you will try the above and let you know.

Help with a dilemma

If you remember Diamond dual-up modems, they had ones you could “pair” (if you had a compatible ISP) and double your speed. I had a friend who did that. Of course you also had to have two phone lines for it to work, so it wasn’t for the budget-minded folks.
I did have two phone lines, a dedicated one for connecting to the server in my office at work--using a Wyse terminal--and the other for personal use. My employer paid for the work line.
He also had a 14” color CRT for his Leading Edge computer. And a 40MB HD that in those days cost $400 and took half a day to configure and install...
In my office at work, I had a 14" color monitor, plus a dumb terminal. I'd sometimes take a break from actual work by playing a game on the color monitor, on one of my desktops--and be able to switch quickly to another desktop if someone walked in.

Funny, we've had multiple desktops in the *nix world FOREVER, and last I heard window$ finally implemented some kind of crude, clunky, unsophisticated--in other words, normal for their software--version of their own. I've had confirmed that it can't even begin to do anything similar to what we've had with KDE for decades.

Like this, where each side of the cube is one of my desktops [which I always set at 9], and rotating the cube--aside from being fun!--is how I've chosen to navigate from desktop to desktop:

Tilted up for a look at its other desktops:

Kubuntu_desktop_123112_2.png


that replaced a Bernoulli drive (who remembers those!!!)
Me! Me! I've mentioned my Bernoulli drive at work several times. It used 8-inch floppy disks. :eek:
Painful back then, but virus-free, too. :D
No pain for me, really. Thanks to starting on--and sticking with--UNIX/Linux, my computing life has been nothing but fast, efficient, fun and, in 35 years, I've *never* had to deal with viruses, or any other crap micro$oft users think are just part of life. :rolleyes: I don't know how, or WHY, they do it!
